Glasgow Refugee and Migrant Network (GRAMNet): Mare Chiuso

Since March 2011, after the outbreak of the Libyan War, many African migrants and refugees escaped from the country. While a part of this flow has found shelter in refugee camps at the border with Tunisia, others managed to reach Italian coasts by boat. Although focusing more widely on the topic of migration as a whole, Mare Chuiso centres its narrative on the plight of Semere, an Eritrean man separated from his pregnant wife who had made safe passage to Italy.
